Lorde announces 2018 North American tour dates

Friday saw the release of Lorde’s long-awaited second album, Melodrama. The pop star (real name: Ella Yelich-O’Connor) didn’t stop there, however. With fans still immersed in her new music, Lorde also announced her North American tour dates for 2018. “North America I would never forget about u – let’s dance,” Lorde wrote in a tweet.

The Melodrama tour begins this fall in the United Kingdom, with a date on Sept. 26 in Manchester. From there, Lorde plays a few more U.K. dates before jumping over to the European continent in October; at all of those shows, she will be supported by R&B artist Khalid. In November, she heads to New Zealand and Australia, before coming to North America in March.
